BURNER.

Application filed June 20,

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, FELrX HAI-mrs, a citi- Zen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful improvements in Burners, of which the following is a specification.

rllhis invention relates to hydrocarbon burners, and has particular reference to that type of burner from which is discharged in the form of sheets, two lluids such as oil and steam or air which commingle to produce a hydrocarbon mixture, as well as an intense flame.

More specifically stated, the burner embodies an upper and lower section between which is interposed a disc separating the sections and which disc is flattened on its opposed faces adjacent its periphery, thereby defining with the adjacent ends of the burner section slits or outlet openings through which the oil and steam are sprayed, the component parts of the burner being held associated through the .instrumentality of a single shifting element, thus producing,l a construction which can be quickly and easily assembled or disassembled as the occasion requires.

@ne of the chief characteristics of the invention resides in providing a burner of the above mentioned character', wherein the said disc can be adjusted to direct the flume at any angle with a View of preventing the :Haine from striking the side wall of the furnace. thereby protecting the latter.

'.lhe nature and advantages of the inven tion will be better' understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

ln the drawings forming part of this application. like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein:

Figure l is a view in elevation of the burner constructed in accordance with the invention.

Figure 2 is a view taken substantially at right-angle'to Figure l.. showing the outlet openings of the burner.

1921. Serial No. 479,021.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 33 of Figure l.

Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line 4 4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a similar view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 2.

Figure 6 a perspective view of the disc.

Figure 7 is a sectional view taken on line 7-7 of Figure 6.

Referring to the drawings in detail, the burner which is indicated generally at A, comprises an upper section l() and a lower section ll, both of which are identical in construction. Projecting from the side of each section is a hollow boss l2, which is interiorly threaded to accommodate the feed pipes 13 and 14 respectively, the former leading from a source of oil to the section l0, and the latter from a# source of steam to the section ll of the burner. Fach of these sections is formed with a centrally disposed hollow boss l5, which are arranged in axial alinement when the burner sections are operatively associated.

The sections 10 and ll are spaced by means of a disc 16 which is interposed between the sections as clearly illustrated in Figure 3, and the opposed faces of the disc are formed with channels or grooves 17. The opposed faces are also-recessed as at 18 and 19 respectively. these recesses extending from the channels 17 to the peripheryv of the disc for a purpose to be presently forth. The recess i8 slightly deeper and vet narrower than the recess l9. these recesses defining with the adjacent ends of the section of the burner` slits or openings 20 through which the fluids above mentioned are discharged from the burner. It will be noted from an inspection of Figure 2, that the disc 16 is arranged with t-he recess 18 adjacent the section l0 of the burner while the wider recess 19 is arranged adjacent the lower section 11. Consequently, the sheet of steam emitted from the lower section 1l of the burner extends beyond the sheet of oil discharged from the section l0, so that no particle of the oil can pass beyond the sheet of steam, thereby eliminating waste. The sheet of steam mixes with the oil eX- teriorly of the burner in the product-ion of a highly combustible fuel and an intense ed extremity of the bolt as illustrated. Manifestly, the construction cannot only be assembled and disassembledffinivery quick:

order as the occasion requires, but by loosenlng the nut 23,-the disc V16 can beadyusted, or 1n other Words rotated to position the recesses l8 andr19 with respect to the burner sections, so thatithe. flame may be` projected in any direction, with a view of keepingy the flame'out of contact with thewall of the furnace. The burner in itsentiretyis very simple in construction and can be lmanufactured and sold at a very nominal cost.

Vilhile it is believed that from'the foregoing description thatithe nature and advantages of the invention Will-be readily ap' parent, I desire to have it understood'that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall With in the scope of what is claimed.

What I claim is:

A hydrocarbon burner comprising upper and lower tubular sections;7 each being open at one end, and arranged With their open ends in confronting relation, a sleeve arranged centrally Within each section, the sleeves of the 4respective sections being diisposed in axial alinement, a headed bolt passed throughsaid: sleeves. and holding said sections associated, a hollow boss projecting laterally from each section andconstituting an inlet therefor, a Vdisk interposed vbetween the open ends of said. sections and having a central opening for the reception of said bolt, said disk having recesses inthe upper and lower faces thereofV opening at `the periphery ofsaid dislrand constituting out` lets for said sections, and the recess on the underside of' the diskV being' longer than'the other recess and also of a Width to extend beyond the sides of the latter mentioned recess for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

FELIX HARRIS.
